Q. Guess who put my white 'ratting shorts' in to wash with a cheap red Indian bedspread?
A. Her initials are L M...... You got it?
She's just addressed me as "Oy, Pinkie!".
I'd just cut my thumb, and my hand and shorts were covered with blood, so I suggested "Oy, you bloody Pinkie" instead.
My 'pink' shorts are now back in the Laundry Basket, especially after I accidently dropped an oily Artichoke into my lap at lunch yesterday. Maybe they'll return to how they were; but I doubt it.
They are much pinker than they appear in the photo!

Hey, at least pink is a fun and cheery color! 💗
I'm wearing them at the moment; I've got used to them now.
Haha …. We’ve all done it !!! XXXX
Maybe so; but PINK??
I see that you're typing! Are you on the mend? I imagine these things take a while to heal. I've never broken an arm, so I wouldn't know. xx
Match them with navy blue and you will look ever so chic!
Wouldn't I need a Yacht in Monaco to wear that?
Oh dear, pink, blood and artichoke juice. Your shorts really have been through the mill.
Thank goodness they're my 'Ratting' shorts, and not my Sunday best.
Those are not your Sunday best?????
They look fine to me. I don't see pink very well.
Not a lot of difference, but my Sunday best have more pockets.
You could see these from a hundred paces!
I thought better of Lady M. Mixing a red with a white wash is the sort of mistake we make in our teens. On the other hand . . . may she had a plan - and made it look like an accident.
I can't imagine your son Kimbo in a pink shirt. Yet, in the UK, pre lockdown when people (white collar) still went to offices pink shirts for men were the thing. Pale pink to vaguely fuchsia. Fashion editors decreed that a pink shirt makes a man appear powerful. Yes, pull the other one. Power makes a man powerful. The rest are the emperor's clothes.
Having said you look absolutely dashing. Colour notwithstanding.

Contrary to what ‘they’ say, real men do wear pink….and eat quiche as well
When I worked in The City, we (of course) wore loose collars. To accompany the collars we either wore striped navy/white shirts, or pale grey, or pale pink; depending on how 'dashing' we felt that morning.
Cathy, I am a classic example. I (now) wear pink, and I love a good quiche!
Blood and artichokes...Well, you do put your clothes through the wringer don't you?
I don't generally wear light colored pants because I'm always sitting in something, or brushing up against something or dropping something. Best I just stick to denim.
Nice fashion statement! After having too many white T-shirts come out of the wash in the lovely shade of pink, My Retired Man took over the chore of doing the wash. My plan worked!
Since decades also a man can wear pink (of course before he always "could", but people talked).
You mention they are spoiled by oil etc, maybe no wash can save them anyway - so you can wear them as "garden work trousers", and your Lady M. will spot you quickly between the greenery.
I was forbidden from wearing burgundy shorts in New Zealand. Even I wouldn't have worn pink ones.
I'm always outdoors, so I tend to get mucky; my clothes reflect that!
All my T shirts are black, other maybe than 2. I do usually do my own washing, but recently Lady M has shown some sympathy.
Maybe it's so she can see me whilst I'm eating all the Strawberries.
I always picture NZ'ers wearing short-ish shorts with calf length white socks. Maybe this fashion statement is now long gone, but the image remains. What was wrong with burgundy? For all they knew, you might have been an antique dealer!
Never broken a bone before Cro ..... smashed it to smithereens at the elbow ..... pins. screws and metal plates ..... four hours of surgery ..... really did a number on it and I think its going to take months to heal. Am so bored already and its only ben 10 days. XXXX
I doubt it too. I once bought the farmer a pink shirt - it went back to the Gents' Outfitter within the week.
Nice legs by the way.
Nice to see that you are unashamedly in touch with your feminine side Lord Magnon but the idea of using oily artichokes as sex toys is most unappealing.
I still wearing them this morning; they're still pink.
My 'feminine side' was forced upon me by an undercover female.
Ho! Lady M is in good company, we’ve all inadvertently ended up with more pink in the wardrobe than we planned. It really never comes out, so lucky you’ve decided you like them :)
